It seems very likely that 71 is the pupillary distance. Sometimes there's more than one PD given (if they have bifocals). I assume that's why it says "Distance" -- it's the PD for distance vision.
The Eye Size 52/24-150 would not generally be on a prescription, but perhaps those are the measurements from an old pair of glasses that this person uses. 52 is the eye width (the width of each lens), 24 is the lens height, and 150 is most likely the temple length. Generally the frame size (total width of the frame) isn't written down anywhere. You should have them measure (in millimeters) the total width of a set of frames that fit their face well, and use that number as a guide. Frame size is one of the most important factors to ensure a good fit. Hope this helps!
